Review of Fearless

Fearless (I) (2017)
1/10
More plot holes than swiss cheese
26 November 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I usually love English series for their subtle-ness and rich characters. This show is the opposite. One stereotype after the other! ... They even have TWO scenes with a bus running someone over when the script has nowhere to go! ... The initial setup is one we have seen MILLIONS of times ago: No one believes an innocent man except the main character. The "crowd" condemns this innocent man and rallies against him because they have nothing better to do ... and 14 years after the fact ... Hate for the sake of hating ... The main character is perfect and flawless and can go against anyone and never gives up, because ... oh yes, she is "fearless" ... her diet consists of vodka and cigarettes, never sleeps but has endless energy (except for the bags under her eyes) ... Constant flashbacks to some sixties protests that nobody cares about... A connection between a teen age murder and the highest CIA and UK politicians as well as, yes, lets throw ISIS in there why not, nobody pays attention to realism anyhow ... SPOILER: The last episode plants this big red herring around a supposed attempt against the main character which never happens... it is just there to fool us the audience ... bad scripting ... This series tries so hard to be memorable and ends up being totally implausible and forgettable ...
